Sky Sports apps land on TiVo’s red button

TiVo viewers can watch extra games and access alternative views via the red button, or tune into extended Premier League highlights on Football First.

Virgin said it’s also working to add Sky’s red button extras for Sky Sports F1, which launches on Friday, March 9.

Simon Hunt, product director of TV at Virgin Media said: “With so much excitement building for the biggest sporting events this year we know our customers are going to love the extra dimension these interactive services will bring.

“From clips and interviews to selectable camera angles and even red button exclusive shows, we’re thrilled to offer Sky Sports subscribers on Virgin Media new ways to experience their favourite sports with even more depth than ever before.”

Additional interactive services will be added ‘over the coming weeks and months’.
